I started in April 99 on Innoruuk playing a cleric. My guild was Lords of Aesir (later Lords of Edelo after a guild merger). I eventually dinged L50 in late December and got my full set of purple Hate armour around about the time of Kunark. I eventually retired at L56during Velious as I discovered the raiding grind was not for me. I burned out.
I came back with a new account after a few months and over the next few years made many alts, focusing on the grouping aspect of the game. I got a couple of epics (including 2 boxing my entire mage epic which perhaps is my proudest achievement - the PoA crown I soloed in the bazaar before anyone calls me on that!), my Velious prayer shawl, and two or three PoP flags but I never did come to enjoy raiding.
So I was always envious of the gear other people had and never got to set foot into a large number of zones, but I had plenty of fun.
I've been here less than a fortnight but I'm thoroughly enjoying P99. I'd love to play for hours on end like I used to but alas, I now have wife and babies, and they are NO DROP and high encumbrance
